1. جَورِكُم في القُربِ أَشفى إِلى

    قَلبِيَ في البُعدِ مِنَ العَدلِ

    Your cruelty in nearness is more soothing to

    my heart than justice at a distance.

  2. وَفي الرِضى عِندِيَ حَرَمانُكُم

    أَحلى مِنَ السُخطِ مِعَ الوَصلِ

    And, to me, your withholding with approval

    is sweeter than displeasure with union.
